Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba and Mbalula, both former ANCYL leaders, Mashatile, Mabe, a former ANCYL treasure, and Ekurhuleni mayor Mondli Gungubele danced with musician Zahara as she performed on stage.

The crowd sang along to her popular song Mandela, which pays tribute to former president Nelson Mandela, who died in December.

The concert kicked off immediately after speakers addressed the supporters, who donned yellow ANC T-shirts handed out to them earlier.
